Citrix says the app is a good idea because you can “Take a jog while you’re taking a meeting.”

Which sounds like it will work so very well, given that puffing and panting your way through a chat with a client is generally regarded as excellent customer service.

Citrix also suggest you might “Listen in on a session while rocking your baby to sleep — no squirming into your pockets and fumbling with your phone needed.”

Have these people ever actually rocked a baby to sleep? Don't they know that a car door closing a mile away can undo an hour of sleep-inducing effort? (Judging from the youthful looks of the writer responsible for the post, no - Ed)

Citrix's last reason for the app being a good idea is “Plus, you’re going to feel like a super-cool spy.”

Make of that what you will.

The idea behind wearables seems to be that watches are even more intimate devices than phones. One wears a watch everywhere and it's therefore a convenient way to snack on information, or a usefully smaller device to collect data during activities like exercise.

Just why Citrix thinks wearables will also be employed for web conferencing isn't clear. Bandwagon-clambering looks the most likely scenario: wearables are So Hot Right Now that doing a Dick Tracy might seem sensible. ®
